an Attempt to Burn the Morgan Com
pany's Freight Depot.
NEW YORK, Feb. 13.-An evident at
tempt 20 fire the freight shop of the Nor
gan Company at pier Sc, North river, was
made last night about 10 O'Clock, when
an explosion occurred which caused a
stampede among the truckmen who were
shipping freight there at the time. The
shed, which contained large quantity of
freight, took fire, but it was soon extin-
guished, and no damage worth mention
ing was done. The explosion caused the
men employed on the piers and all
the hands to fly for their lives
Some explosive had been placed
close to the fence. At the gate
breach was made, and several
pieces of glass and flint and q whisky
flask were found. Near it was small
tin box. The flask had contained phos-
phorus. 1t had been used to ignite the
explosive, whatever it was. The police
regard the explosion as an attempt made
by the defeated strikers or some one in
sympathy with them to damage the COM
pany's property.

fed that he was one of the original men,
bers of the first assemblies of Knights of
Labor. He was acquainted with all the
leaders of the order. Strikes were not
got up by the order, but by independent

The regular assessments varied
from % to so cents per week. In each
district there is court consisting OF q
presiding Judge and associates aud they

semblies, but generally it was intended to
maintain the balance of power in politics.

NEW YORK, Feb. l3.-EX-Governor St.
John, before temperance meeting in
Chickering hall to-day, delivered an ad-
dress in which occurred these utterances:

who is engaged in lawful business.
cannot distinguish morally between q
saloon keeper and the law that lets him
sell rum, nor between him and those who
make law, between him and the church
deacon who votes for the men who make
such law. They will be all punched on

won't bother to try them separately, and
they will all be put to the same punish
ment."

forty-six years ago and became a journalist.

Somebody has found out that winsomeness
is impossible in a man possessed Of physical
beauty. He may be a handsome fellow, per-
haps even a beauty, and yet that fine and
subtle charm which attaches itself to female
loneliness can never be his. The mere beauty
of m%anliness, Of character and brains car
ries a heavy weight In its power of personal

women a hundred times quicker than the ac-
k~nowledged handsome man, who, after all,
is q rara avis.-Boston Herald.
